Cary Grant.
Ian Fleming himself stated that he partially had Cary Grant in mind when he created James Bond.
Patrick McGoohan was offered the role before Connery.
Ian Flemming was also keen on Trevor Howard to take the role.
In fact, one of the original choices for Bond was Cary Grant, but he would only commit to one film. David Niven, Trevor Howard, Rex Harrison, Patrick McGoohan, James Mason and even Richard Burton were all considered for the role. They even offered the role to award-winning Director John Frankenheimer. And the strangest, was an offer to bodybuilder Steve Reeves who luckily was already committed to a series of Italian "Hercules" movies (the thought of Reeves as Bond is mind-boggling!). Finally, however, saner heads prevailed, and Sean Connery was chosen... but only after producer Albert R. Broccoli's wife saw him in the Disney family movie “Darby O'Gill and the Little People”!
